Sharp Gift Ideas from New West KnifeWork's Founder

New West KnifeWorks’ founder, Corey Milligan, started making knives because he loved to cook. Each knife is designed based on his experience on the cutting board and the needs of our customers. Over the years, he’s become an expert, not only in making knives, but helping folks find the best knife for their particular needs. Here are Corey’s recommendations for sharp gifting.

The Teton Edge Stantoku

A great fit for the active home cook looking for a chef knife that doesn’t have professional-level training. It’s super sleek and manageable for folks intimidated by a larger blade, and the etching provides a bit of flair while also allowing food to release more easily.

"A chef's knife that I'm pretty sure could cut through a rock if needed"

- Noah Kaufman
Senior Editor | FOOD & WINE

The Petty

This is the knife for everyone on your list, no matter what their experience level. It’s the perfect level-up for someone who is just getting into cooking, and a welcome addition to the pro-chef’s knife roll.

"The perfect Balance of power and grace."

- Amiel Stanek
BON APPETIT

G-Fusion Steak Knife

Eating with loved ones is more sacred than ever. These beauties add ceremony to the meal as everyone chooses their colors from the set. More importantly, the blade slides through a strip like warm butter.

"The best steak knives - unlike most, these won't shred your dinner"

- Chef Matt Molina

The 9"

A lightsabre for the kitchen jedi. For some an 8 is too small and a ten is too big. Either way, the 9 hits the sweet spot for many professional and home cooks. The elegant, ergonomic design is perfectly balanced so the powder metal blade can do most of the work for you.

"My best friend in the Kitchen”

The Arete Knife Block

An arete is a ridge of vertical edges that jut from a cliff face. Though a challenging climb, the ascent provides a unique view for those who reach the summit. The Arete is the apex of knife blocks. An homage to our Jackson Hole roots, the magnetic angles provide a striking view while keeping knives optimally at hand.

"Next Level”

- Bloomberg

The Western Chef

The Western Chef is about heft and power, sporting a heavy, almost cleaver-width blade for hacking, chopping, and dicing. Given the choice, if your hands itch for a two-handed broadsword rather than a rapier-- look no further- this knife is for you. Keep it in your knife roll or wear it on your chaps, the Western Chef will have you ready for rodeo when things get Western in your kitchen.

"The Cadillac of its kind"

- Wall Street Journal

Rock Blocks

Our award winning "rock blocks" transform the kitchen into an aesthetic space. Fused with the materials and inspiration of Jackson Hole, these "knife sculptures" keep favorite tools conveniently at hand while serving as a visual reminder of the joy of cooking.

"Stunning. One of a kind works of art.”

- Forbes

TRANSFORM CHORES INTO A JOY

The vibrant colors of the G-Fusion line remind us that making nourishing, delicious food for those we love is an expression of who we are. We make tools to be an extension of the hand of the culinary artist.

G10: BEAUTIFUL AND BOMBPROOF

Don’t be fooled by the pretty colors, these handles are bombproof. Originally developed for the motherboard of a computer, this fiberglass laminate is extremely tough, feels good in the hand, and thrives in the hot and humid environment of a professional kitchen.

THE BEST STEEL FOR CHEF KNIVES

S35VN is the best steel available for kitchen use. Sharpness, edge-holding, stain-resistance, toughness: the powder metal process lets us pack in more carbon and special alloys with none of the tradeoffs of other high-carbon blades.

PROFESSIONALLY TESTED AND APPROVED

From top test kitchens like Bon Appetit and Food & Wine to Michelin star restaurants and your local favorite bistro, New West KnifeWorks is professionally tested and approved. “My Best Friend in the Kitchen.” Hunter Lewis, Editor in Chief, Food & Wine Magazine.

NATURE AND NURTURE: THE BEST OF BOTH

For those who prefer the natural look and feel of a wooden handle, we tested all the top candidates: Desert Ironwood rose to the top. One of the hardest woods on Earth, it makes a perfect companion in the kitchen for the cutting edge blade.

SKILLED AMERICAN MAKERS

A knife is an extension of the hand, which is why all of our knife handles are hand-finished in the USA. We don’t have an assembly line, each knife is taken through the entire knife-making process by one expert maker to ensure the quality of every blade.

SOLVING THE RIDDLE OF STEEL: POWDER ME

Traditional steel selection always involved trade-offs: too sharp and it becomes brittle, too much stain-resistance makes it cut like a butter knife, too tough and you can’t sharpen it yourself. S35VN steel gives our blades all the good qualities with none of the bad.

LIFETIME GUARANTEED

The craftsmanship of our knives is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We also offer free sharpening and service for all of our knives by mail or through our retail shops.
